Move and resize chart items with the mouse
Microsoft Excel automatically sizes titles to accommodate their text. You can move titles with the mouse but you cannot resize them.
- Click the chart area, the plot area, or the legend you want to move or resize.
- To move an item, point to the item, and then drag it to another location.
To resize an item, point to a sizing handle. When the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow, drag the sizing handle until the item is the size you want.
